Cheese Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°; prick the crust all over with a fork.
• Line it with tin foil and weight the bottom with a pile of dried beans, rice, or other weights that will sit flat on the surface.
• Bake 12 minutes; remove from the oven and carefully remove the weight and foil; turn the oven to 325°.
• In a bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, cream, and seasonings; beat until well blended.
• Place the baked crust on a baking sheet; pour the egg mixture into the crust, right to the top.
• Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven; bake 30-40 minutes, until the mixture is set but still moist; it should still jiggle just a little in the middle (cover pie crust edges with foil if getting too brown).
• Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
